pence won't endorse trump but he defended trump's bloodbath remark so i guess that means he'll be voting

for him -- even tho he wouldn't admit to that

i mean, pence could have just said: "yeah, i don't know what's going on in his crazy head."

ugh! milk toast!

on edit: hardly a surprise

4. The original reporting on this was incorrect.

Not ONE news report I saw showed more than the 15 secs of the "bloodbath" comment. That was disingenuous. The entire clip shows him talking about Chinese cars made in Mexico & the bloodbath for the auto industry.
Of course, the idiot wasnt using a teleprompter so he reverts to his gorilla-in-a-china-shop wording. I do not think Pence will vote for the man who was fine with his hanging.

Regardless of what he's talking about. Its locked in his mind & he'll throw that out when he's screwing up a different train of thought

When the news was about his non-endorsement, there was a thought that we not bash his *one* thing we agree with, in favor of capitalizing on his and whatever other ones like him draining away from Drumpf.

That derailed the points about Pence: That the sub-text of the non-endorsement was to garner *more* approval of him from us.

Whatever he does will not sway anybody away from Drumpf. He is at best a non-entity to anybody in his party.

The correct couple of things he's done have not been courageous or exceptionally principled. They should have been *easy* decisions not requiring Dan Quail's profound input.

Nobody who chose to sign up for Drumpf and then cosyed up to his obvious nefariousness possesses integrity. His being right once or twice doesn't rate him admiration/approval - easy questions and answers, besides that he brings zero impact.
